»Visiting & Interview Opportunities

As a prospective student, one of the best ways to get a true feeling of a university is to visit and ask questions. This is why Chapman is proud to offer a variety of visiting and learning opportunities to help you make this important decision.

+-Campus Walking Tours & Information Sessions

Monday through Friday at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

These 90-minute campus and residence hall walking tours are specifically designed to give prospective students and their parents an in-depth look at the history, academics, student life and surroundings that make Chapman University a standout in the education world. Following the tours are 60-minute information sessions that provide an in-depth look at the application process, explain what our admission committee looks for during review and a Q&A session with an admission representative.

Campus tour policies: Reservations are made on a first-come, first-served basis. All campus tours will be suspended throughout Orientation Week in August, 2 p.m. tours on Fridays during June and July, as well as when the campus is closed for major holidays.

Location and Check-inTours and Information Sessions meet in the Pankey Visitor Center located within the main lobby of Argyros Forum (Building 1 on the Campus Map) at 386 N Center Street. Please check in five minutes prior to your appointment. Click here for a campus map and parking info.

Fellows Interviews: On-Campus, Phone or Skype

Chapman's Admission Fellows Program provides prospective students with the opportunity to meet with current Chapman student leaders for an informational and evaluative conversation. Fellows are also available to answer questions about the Chapman community from the interviewee or their parents. The interview is used by the admission committee as an additional aid in the application review process.

To qualify for an interview, a student must be a current high school senior and seriously considering applying to Chapman University, or have already submitted an application for the following academic year. A few of the benefits of interviewing with an Admission Fellow:

Provides a more personalized application experience

Helps demonstrate the prospective student's personality and passions to the admission committee

Allows prospective students to explore the current student perspective on a more intimate and detailed level

Introduces a Chapman student contact for the prospective students to keep in touch with throughout the application process

Interviews conducted by our Admission Fellows are available upon request, and will be scheduled on a first-come, first-serve basis. We will offer interviews both on campus and over the phone. We also offer interviews during Discover Chapman Day. Fellows Interviews will begin for high school seniors on September 15, 2014 and be offered through January.

Important Dates to Remember
